Vinny Gambini: I've heard of grits. I just never actually *seen* a grit before.

I just returned from South Carolina and I didn’t see much fat there.
You want fat? Go to a cold weather state like Michigan where the welfare is easy, heart attacks are measured by the richter scale and people compete with trees for immobility.
I am a diabetic and so, in addition to giving myself plenty of exercise (walking, weight-lifting, and running on a treadmill), I also count carbs. Note that I didn’t say “exclude” carbs, but rather, “count” carbs. Over the years, I have learned how many carbs serving I can have a day and still maintain or lose weight, as well as the size of a carb serving for a particular food type and the difference between good carbs and bad carbs.
George Orwell explained the apparent contradiction in I believe it was his book "The Road to Wigan Pier".
Poor folks would rather have a tiny bit of luxury in their life and would choose a bit of candy over something healthy like an apple. Not the best choice for a healthy diet, but one takes his pleasures where one can find them. Wealthy people are more concerned about a balanced or healthy diet than poor folks, because poor folks have more pressing concerns.
You don’t have to eat fresh produce to lose weight. Canned veggies and canned fish will drop the pounds just as fast if not faster.
Very soon expect to hear Fat Police brown shirts and their jackboots marching down the street searching for offenders. The other sound you will here are the trapdoors closing as Milwaukee Patriots hide overweight people in their basements and root cellars.
I have visited Japan, Korea, and China...China being my most recent, in October.
Not only can you recognize the American tourist by the color of their skin, but they’re easily recognizable by their weight....many were huge.
“Not this weekend! Cleveland swallowed Houston!”
LOL!
Butter butter butter bump
Why must all “medical expenses” be for treating problems? Why can’t some of it be used for preventative care including health club dues and equipment?
I like that idea! Help fund my bicycle racing habit!

As a registered nurse, I ask the same question!
I know of a vitamin that has helped me. Yet, when I mentioned it to the chief of cardiology at a university hospital, he laughed.

All that snow shoveling and bowling keeps Western New Yorkers in shape.
Lol! Thanks for finding it. I love that movie.
“Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini”
He lives a block from my daughter....we often see him riding his bicycle...nice guy!
Who was the normal BMI player? Nate Washington, a respectable starter but by no means one of the pillars of the team.
LOL!!!!!
If you want to see fat people, go to your county health services. The poorest among us are the fattest.
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard, “Well we ain’t got much, but we always eat good.”
It is a cultural thing. When you have little in material wealth, you defend your stewardship of your family by the most obvious method—providing food, even to excess.
What a country where obesity can be used to identify poverty.
Ewww! My eyes!
